- hal9000xp 9y agoThis is one of my main reasons why I quit Russia in 2015. Now, I still have toxic Russian citizenship and my primary task is to get rid of this citizenship. Unfortunately, it's quite challenging task. Two main reasons/concerns which motivate me quit Russia: 1) Possibility of unexpected ban of Internet (restriction of freedom of information); 2) Possibility of introducing exit visas (restriction of freedom of movement); If not these two concerns, I wouldn't bother to quit Russian citizenship no matter how poor and corrupt country. Don't get me wrong, I have friends living in Moscow. I have a lot of warm memories about this city. I may be even return to live in Russia ... as foreign citizen.
- raquo 9y agoYeah. Add to that the paperwork and limitations associated with being a 'currency resident' if you decide to step into Russia for even one day a year. Ugh. I meet my family in other countries now. That said, what's this about exit visas? Is it being seriously discussed?
- z3t4 9y agoEvery time there is a terrorist attack politicians preach more surveillance, and that apps etc are problematic. Maybe in the future "the terrorists" will be the good guys. If you haven't already - watch the movie Brazil (1985)
- bitxbitxbitcoin 9y agoI wonder if Russian ISPs will ever get tired of putting up with Putin's demands... Probably not, huh.
- raquo 9y agoThey _are_ tired, in the same sense as inmates are tired of being in prison.
